I think my local neighborhood cryptid is a Frutero. I can explain: We have a local Fruit Vendor. He is a fixture of the block, and on most afternoons, I can hear the little horn on his cart going up and down the block distantly.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

i fear we live in a tiktok-brained-comment-section society where instead of using their brain to first think about something, people instead start hashing out their weird thoughts in random artists' replies, expecting no consequences to being rude and offensive

The entire Microsoft 365 lineup runs so unreliably, slows down my computer processes, and frustrates our clients by asking them to log in even when they don't need to. But at least it's also an expensive subscription with poor integrations that also occasionally deletes saved folders for no reason.

It’s almost like ostentatious displays of wealth obtained by unethical means in the face of a nationwide financial crisis is how the Jacobins and Bolsheviks became a thing

After all, for decades, there was an unspoken bargain with America’s ultra-moneyed. They could enjoy unimaginable privilege as long as they projected austerity or stayed largely out of the limelight. Warren Buffett in a modest home in Omaha. Mark Zuckerberg in hoodies and an Acura. They mostly left the conspicuous displays of the good life — over-the-top birthday parties, flashy cars, cosmetic enhancements — to celebrities and reality-TV stars.
But Mrs. Sánchez Bezos is nothing if not a woman intent on sampling the full menu. She hasn’t just changed Mr. Bezos into a man who hosts Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed 70th birthday party at his Los Angeles home: Sometimes it seems she’s taken the entire culture with her.
After years defined by financial crisis, pandemic lockdowns and moral earnestness, unabashed rich-person exuberance is back with a Blue Origin bang, a Mar-a-Lago makeover of the White House and a Zuckerberg rap cover. The Bezos’ marriage seems, at times, as much a cultural inflection point as a love story — the moment American money stopped apologizing and decided it might as well enjoy itself.

Dave Chappell suddenly claiming he “resents” Republicans for weaponizing his trans jokes—give me a break. Man long ago claimed he was “Team TERF”, and also brought Musk on stage back in 22. If he looks around and suddenly doesn’t like his present company, that’s for him to figure out..

Thoughts on technique vs vision from Marcos Mateu-Mestre’s “Framed Ink”

As artists we need to be especially perceptive of this surrounding energy, because it is our work to translate it into something physical, more tangible, like a drawing or the narration of a story that will successfully convey and deliver all of it effectively to an
audience.
In this book we will talk about artistic grammar" and techniques that will help in this translation process, but, besides technique, we will always need our individual perception, instinct, passion, and intuitive understanding of things in order for this "translation work" not to come out as completely mechanical, predictable, and formulaic. Technique is one thing; feeling and mood-the expression of which is our goal-are another. The former will help us put the latter out there, but will never take its place.
If we are going to tell a story, we need to believe in it and its characters. If we are going to move an audience, we need to be moved ourselves first. We just won't be able to give something that we don't have.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

twitter comments that range from "oh! so contradictory - laugh & cringe" to "so curious to know who would want this - any ideas?"
